When considering the performance of the boat, the dependence on the displacement, speed and range will be appreciated, bearing in mind that the speed of the boat varies approximately 1/4 knot per ton displacement.
At a fighting displacement of 70 tons (equivalent to 80 tons full load including 18 tons fuel) the boat will have the following performance:

The Maximum Continuous running time at 2100 RPM is 15 minutes. The engine requires an overhaul at the completion of 20 cumulative hours at 2100 RPM
Tactical Turning Diameter is less that 300 meters at a speed of 38 knots.
The trim of the boat and the internal rudder position is of some importance, and in general it is recommended there be an aft trim of between 4 to 6 inches, and that the two rudders are parallel with the boat center line.
